SONIC MATTER

Online-Plattform / Festival / Radio / Event Guide SONIC MATTER was launched in 2020 following a call for proposals by Kultur Stadt Zürich and is supported by the Department of Culture with an annual contribution. The platform revitalises the void in Zurich's musical life that arose after the cancellation of the Tage für Neue Musik Zürich. SONIC MATTER is an invitation to discover, explore and create experimental music together. As a festival in Zurich and as an online platform, we offer artists and listeners a space to engage with sound. Striking and profound, critical and sensual, energetic and contemplative - our projects enable new perceptual experiences. The SONIC MATTER Festival takes place every year at different locations in Zurich. In collaboration with a guest festival from another part of the world, it brings together artists from Zurich, Switzerland and the international community for concerts, soundscapes, performances, exhibitions, lounges, club nights and discussions. SONIC MATTER Radio runs 24 hours a day, all year round. It accompanies the activities of the festival, but also serves as art radio. In addition to streams, interviews and music, it presents artistic works that have been specially developed for the medium. Our sound guide compiles offers relating to experimental music in the city and canton of Zurich.
